"Once more unto the course, dear friends, once more;
Or close the start pens up with our Marathon dead."
OK, badly modified over the top Shakespeare quotes aren't why you come to this blog, so I'll get onto the point...
Originally this year I thought there was a marathon in me, the Snowdon marathon in October. But me being me, I signed for for Llanelli and well, that's a story for another page. However, that wasn't the absolute catastrophe I deserved, which has made me think, ride my semi-decent level of fitness and do the extra bit of training I needed last time, I could get this down towards 4 hours.
Then someone mentioned the Tenby marathon and I though, oooh there's a event with just enough gap for me to work hard in...
Well one thing led to another and...
Yeah, I could remember.
No way of looking at it differently, Llanelli was a failure, mainly caused by my own body saying 'nope!'. I have the chance here to redeem myself in my own eyes. I can do this!

The route looks nice, no soul destroying laps this time around, I'm confident. Over confident maybe, bus better than that than be a nervous wreck.
My target time will be 4 hours, I will do the long runs I need, I will eat enough before the race. It'll be good! It's also a harder course, I have this in mind as well.
